Chargers' Desmond King named Pepsi Rookie of Week nominee for 2nd straight game

For the second consecutive game Chargers rookie cornerback Desmond King has been named a Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award nominee for his efforts against the Redskins.

Los Angeles throttled Washington by a score of 30-13, and their defense allowed only six of those points behind King’s outstanding performance. The fifth-round selection’s 10 tackles (seven solo) led the Chargers Week 14, and he added his fourth sack of the season to go along with one pass defensed, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit.

Below is L.A.’s news release on King’s latest honor, including how fans can vote for the former Iowa product to home the award.

Fans can vote for one of these five players on www.nfl.com/rookies through Friday at 3 PM ET to determine the PEPSI NFL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK. The PEPSI NFL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK will be announced Friday on NFL Total Access on NFL Network and on NFL.com.
